Edgar Simms
Army 7th Service Battalion Yorks and Lancs Regiment (Pioneers)
My grandfather, Edgar Simms, served with the 7th Service Battalion Yorks and Lancs Regiment (Pioneers) from 1915-1917. He did survive the war, but 44 of his pals in A company did not return. My husband and I have found the final resting place of those who have known graves and in September we are returning to the Somme area to place poppy crosses on all of the graves in the area. Next year, we shall visit Belgium and place the rest of the crosses on the graves in the Passchendaele area and the final crosses at the Menin Gate during the 90th anniversary of that battle. If anyone has family members with graves in either area we will be more than happy to visit the graves and place a poppy for them.
